Short
Wore this a few times for warm fall days. I’m 5’7”, it’s short AF. I wore with boy shorts and wish it was a skort. I felt kind of uncomfortable sitting because it was short enough to be sitting on my underwear not the skirt. It did gap at the opening and wrinkle a bit though. Will not rent again because I didn’t feel comfortable but I think it looked good

Warm wool cropped
Love this jacket. Such a nice alternative to leather or a blazer; feels like an elevated letterman’s jacket. It’s pretty warm, the wool isn’t scratch at all. It’s a great transitional piece and the color is perfect for fall

Cropped warm
Wore this with the matching pants to a fall work event in Chicago. It’s pretty cropped but thick and warm. Their material is scratchy so may irritate sensitive skin. I felt warm and professional

Very warm
Wore these to a conference Fall Chicago with the matching jacket. It’s a coarse thick wool so very warm which I appreciated in a freezing conference room. They’re pretty voluminous so not the best for travel, but I’d rent again for a cold weather work event

So cute
Wish I could keep this; so well made, pleats so cute, gorgeous buckle detail. At 5’7” it was too short for work, maybe it could work with tights in winter and a chill work place. Wore for fall fun date, tons of compliments

Very sheer
This dress is two layers of mesh. The two layers are sheer enough to see nipples through, so bra is a must. One layer is completely sheer. The skirt overlaps single layers into 2 layers, so the right side is completely sheer as in my underwear was showing. I dealt with this by wearing black tights and over the knee boots. It was hot, but definitely for bold and dark nights

Classic reformation very lightweight
Beautiful color, fabric a bit tired and pilly. The fabric is very light, perfect for summer. At 5’7” 130lb the slit was higher than I’d like and needed help buttoning the top. Next time I’d size up

Not for medium or tall people
I’m 5’7, 135 usually a 4 but sized up to a 6. It was wearable but super uncomfortable in the crotch. I don’t think I’d be able to sit down. Ankles were also cropped, showing a lot of calf. Cute For people 5’4” and under.

I'm 5'7" 138lbs, muscular w big arms. I wear a US 4/UK 10 dress. I rented UK 14 based on other reviews and it was big but wearable. I'd rent again in 10 or 12. Many compliments.

Cute, flattering, fun
I paired this with a Boden pencil skirt for thanksgiving. It is dating, cool, sexy, and flattering. I can think of nothing wrong with this top. The medium was snug around my size 4 rib cage so would definitely recommend sizing up. I don't have much of a chest so this area was baggy for me, but I think anyone with a D or bigger might need to size up even further.

Work and play!
I paired this with a black silk shirt for work then the C/MEO top for Thanksgiving. My true waist is 29 inches and hips 39- the 6 fit nicely in the hips but was large in the waist. The fabric is not a heavy felt like a true kilt, but rather a thinner wool that is very soft and not scratchy. Perfect winter skirt.

Gapes in front
I got a small; at 5'6" 140 it's usually s or medium. The rest of the dress fits fine but the chest won't close; it's gaped to the navel. For such a casual dress double sided tape would be a bit much- but it's way too lose to wear open without something underneath- you'd be topless. The only setting I can see wearing this dress in is essentially as a cover up over a swimsuit. It's a beautiful fabric and the material feels great so a real shame.

Comfy, flattering, feminine
I normally wear a 4-6 and this size was forgiving enough to eat big meals in :) it hung beautifully and the cap sleeves are loose so that shoulder range of motion isn't restricted at all. It's very light, perfect for hot weather. The print is quite feminine. I think it's conservative enough for work but pretty enough for a daytime party.

Soft cozy, had no idea it was maternity
Lol, I saw this in store and needed something cozy for the office. Only when I saw it in the app did I realize it was maternity. There is NOT an obvious bump space, but the cut is loose and the fabric stretchy. I thought the zipper neck was cool looking but I guess it's also good for breast feeding. If/when I'm pregnant I'll buy this, but for now was cute and comfy for work.

Print is so subtle these are essentially just black leggings. I'm usually a 4, the s was a bit too tight would have preferred the m. Pretty basic, won't rent again but nothing wrong with them- you just probably already have something similar in your closet

This dress is nice, I got compliments at work, but didn't seem special to me. I wore to work then a work dinner; functional for that setting but there are enough awesome pieces on RTR I won't be renting this again.

Cute NO POCKETS
Is a winter coat without pockets even a coat? This is so cute but so totally not functional wo pockets inside or out. RTR, you should tailor pockets into this coat and maybe if even buy it. It's lightweight, not super warm and runs a little small. So if you need to layer size up. Better for spring/fall than winter

Complemented by strangers at a club
This skirt is fabulous. I wore with black sleeveless sweater as styled in model photo, Kendra Scott Emmylou earrings and unreal fur reflections coat. I wore this outfit twice and got compliments from strangers. Someone I know from work (much more casual dress) didn't recognize me and said I was glamorous. The skirt is very thin and light, which is a relief compared to most RTR items. The step off shown on the model is not that obvious in real life. This skirt is timeless, if it was cheaper I would buy it.

Beautiful, a little over worn and small
I got constant compliments on this dress. I am 57, 138 pounds. I wanted to rent the size 6 but it was unavailable so I took a chance on the four. It was definitely tight. I could still get into it with some maneuvering and it looked fine, but I will rent us again in a six. And I will definitely rent again, an absolute favorite from RTR. This particular dress was a little overworn, the inner silk lining was falling out of the bottom of the dress. The second time I wore it I safety pinned the lining up to keep it in place.

Tough to get in and out of, classic glamour
I rented this for a work conference. Paired with a wolf blouse this jumpsuit nicely recreates menswear pants/vest. It looked super chic. The clips on the back of the neck were an issue- they got tangled in my bun and were very tough to do or undo on my own. If you rent this give yourself plenty of time before heading to the restroom as it can be a several minute affair to get out of it. That being said, I loved this look and will rent again.

It's a big baggy, is really denim so a bit casual for work. The slit is way way to high when sitting. Will not wear again. I love the top though

Professional yet fitted sheath, flattering
I rented this for a work dinner. On the walk to dinner I noticed that the skirt rode up a lot. So this is definitely better for an event that involves more standing or sitting, rather than a tour of the city. The fabric is very stretchy. I have large arms and shoulders relative to my body and usually have a massive problem with long sleeve dresses, but this is the total non-issue. The fabric is also quite forgiving and stretchy for walking or opening crossing moving legs. The dress itself was quite fitted which was fine for this relatively casual dinner. But in my professional workplace I would not wear something so fitted, as it definitely hugged my butt. That being said the rest of the dress was so flattering, and the color so nice, I would rent us again for work but just size up.

Sexy yet classy
I rented this from the store which only had an 8. I'm 5'7", 138lbs athletic, 34b - I'm usually a 4 in dresses, but the 8 was big in the chest and shoulders, but fit perfectly at the waist and hips. With cutouts, the absolute last thing one wants is squeezing at the flesh, so I'd recommend sizing up. I could have gone with a 6 for a better fit up top, but with my hair down covering the loose back, at dinner only (no dancing) - this worked great. I used medical grade in lieu of a bra; I don't have huge breasts but didn't want any visible sag, so would also recommend this. It was so chic, a knockout dress. With simple makeup and mildly statement earrings, I felt very sophisticated yet edgy. I will absolutely rent again.

Adorable, short, exquisite floral print
I rented this dress for some dates, wow it was so cute and flattering. I'm not normally a cold shoulder person but I felt like the ruffles and delicate neck line really flattered my shoulders. The print is beautiful with flowers and birds, the pics don't do it justice. The fabric is substantial but the dress is small enough that I don't think it would ever be too hot. The only reason I'm not buying it is the trendiness of the shoulders

Wow perfect leather jacket
I love this jacket. At first I thought it was a bit too moto, too much metal but it really grew on me. The leather is so soft, smells terrific. The jacket is warm, beautiful. Articulated and zipped sleeves mean it actually allows range of motion in the arms. I never thought I'd buy a $900 leather jacket but this may have convinced me.

Fits as described, length at ankles, I'm 5'7". It's a little weird, I wouldn't buy it, but fun to rent. Definitely a sleek, kind of out there look. More flattering for the tall and thin I'd expect.

Very specific fit
I rented this to wear on a date, to dinner, somewhere at night. I am usually a 4, but rented a 6 based on reviews. The material is thick, high quality, neck line is gorgeous. But it was very tight in my thighs, arms and chest ( I had to zip it up backwards without arms in, then spin it around to shimmy into the arms), yes very very loose around the waist. I'm pretty athletic, not voluptuous or hourglassy at all. If tailored or you happen to be the right body type this would be amazing, but the fit was just too off for this to work on me- even casually. I would be hesitant to rent for a big event without back up as the fit is very specific and unforgiving. But clearly looking at the photos of others it is gorgeous and I'm sad it didn't work on me.
